    Chicken diarrhea and vent problem!!

    To be honest I have no idea? The Chocolate Orpington that I started this topic with was the first of three that were culled or died. She never had any of the same symptoms as the last two did. I feel like the Orpington died from a sever case of vent gleet that went too long before it being...

    Which breeds are most and least susceptible to marek's

    I can't have Roosters so I won't be breeding my own, (I remember the birds and the bee's talk I had as a child so I know how it works to get baby chickens) but I do have a couple of questions....... 1) When you say isolated chicks away from my environment for 3 weeks, how far away? Can I keep...

    Which breeds are most and least susceptible to marek's

    She was hatch last July, I got her as a solo chick from a local breeder that vaccinates her day old chicks. When I got her she was 17 days old. She was with two other chicks when I got her and all three were under a heat lamp but the other two I don't have anymore because they were Roo's...

    Which breeds are most and least susceptible to marek's

    The funny thing is the Polish was the only one we got that was vaccinated as a day old chick? From my understanding (and I could be wrong) 7-8 month old and older chicken won't show signs of the disease but can be a carrier, just won't affect them. The rest of my flock is currently 6-8 months...

    I forgot to finish this post from last Nov. The chicken stopped eating, drinking and was very weak. I ended up culling her back in November. Thanks for all the help.

    Which breeds are most and least susceptible to marek's

    I know it's been over a year but was wondering if you have any updates you could share. We are dealing with the same exact situation as yours. One of our flock got sick and couldn't stand, walk or really eat or drink. I culled it a day or so later, it was a Sizzle (frizzle silky) and was around...

    We did notice mites so we bathed the whole flock. We have fed the pumpkin to deworm the flock.

    It does smell different, possibly sweet/acidic smell I guess. NOT good at all!

    Chicken diarrhea and vent problem!!

    We just noticed our 5 month old Chocolate Orpington had diarrhea. We was inspecting her before and after a bath and noticed this around her vent tube. It seems to be the skin around the hole, we soaked in Epsom salt to loosen but it appears to be the skin around the opening. Anybody's with...

    I don't have another to compare to, it's the only Sizzle I have so I don't feet to compare too?
